    Weight Watchers
    Pammy ,not that I want to endorse a program, but weight watchers has always worked for me. I have been on this program throughout the years. Weight has always been an issue for me. Before I got diagnosed with BC this past April, I lost 60 pounds on the program. They teach you it's not what you eat, but how much. We all eat more than we need to. (Portion Control) Good Luck and God Bless. Diane

    Thanks Diane....
    Actually, my daughter asked me last night if I would go with her to an Overeaters Anyominous (sp) meeting this week, for support, for her. Of course I said yes. She has realized that her overweight problems are from uncontrolable eating. I am so glad she is addressing this issue.
    Me on the other hand, well, I'm not working. I'm not really eating anything more, but I didn't realize how much I ran my butt off at work. No wonder I stayed so skinny!! I can't even fit into my work pants now! All because of 10 extra pounds. So that is what prompted me to lose the weight.
    But I work well with challanges. So I think this will be fun for everyone. Because if I keep going at the rate I am gaining now, I figure in about 4 more months I will look like a "Goodyear" blimp, except they won't be able to get me off the ground!! I may try weight watchers advice. There are no rules in the game as to how we lose the weight.....as long as we lose!! :) Pammy

    My Pyramid - good website


    My kids brought this website home from school a couple of years ago:

    http://www.mypyramid.gov/

    It is part of the USDA, like the nutrient database, but much bigger. You can assess your diet and exercise and keep track of it for a year on this site. I think you can access the nutrient database from it, as well. It is really cool. Before cancer, my weight had gone up to the 140's and I was struggling to diet, so I started tracking what I ate on-line using the tool provided on the website. Check it out.

    LAST CALL....STARTS TOMORROW!!!
    Great!! We have some players!! This will actually be interesting!! We can all do it!! We don't have to give our weight, just report gain or loss each week (I'll keep track). I'll ask for stats on Sundays. At the end of the six weeks, we will celebrate with the winner!! Maybe have a few checks in between to keep each other encouraged. ANYONE ELSE WANT TO JOIN? Te,he.....I would count wine as a fruit!! :) Pammy
